#Homelessness is a solvable problem, we know what needs to be done, we just need the will to carry it out. This morning I tabled the final report of the Homelessness Inquiry, initiated by my crossbench colleague, @RodBarton4. Extremely proud of the committee's work. #springst

"We can’t end homelessness if we don’t prevent new people from entering into it." - well said @mbraithwaite72

The youth support system in #Australia is very crisis-oriented with relatively little prevention and early intervention. Early intervention and prevention are arguably the most cost-effective way of addressing youth homelessness. #YouthHomelessness
